A little help pls, everytime I hit the convert button after all the info in filled in, it comes up and says that there where no tables found starting with smf_ but when i goto the setup page for my smf forums that is what it says and the table perfix, and smf did not install a db on my server, or none that i could find, i believe it is using a remote db

the you the truth i don't care much for the posts just need that memberslist transfered

When doing the smf to phpbb conversion, phpbb tables and smf tables have to be in the same database.
So....install phpBB on the same server as smf and use the smf database name, smf database user and smf database password.

An inquiry on the SMF forum shows that downgrading an SMF1.1RC1/2/3 to SMF 1.0.x is not possible (because of different database structures), so to be able to change to phpBB really depends on the ability of this converter to convert SMF 1.1RC1/2/3.

The convertor for SMF 1.1 RC2 is smf 1.1 RC2 convertor
There are no plans at this time for a convertor for SMF to phpBB3. There will be a convertor for phpBB2 to phpBB3, so you can do SMF to phpBB2 to phBB3, if necessary.
